Inconsistent x-daily-requests-left Value in Pipedrive API

Hi everyone,

I'm currently updating my WooCommerce to Pipedrive integration extension ( https://woocommerce-to-pipedrive.com/ ). Since Pipedrive introduced a daily request limit, some of my users who perform a full WooCommerce sync to Pipedrive are hitting this limit.

To prevent their API keys from being blocked, I wanted to rely on the x-daily-requests-left value returned in the response headers. However, after multiple tests, I noticed that this value is quite inconsistent. While it generally decreases as API requests are made, I've observed cases where it increases unexpectedly or fluctuates up and down. In one instance, I even hit the 429 rate limit while x-daily-requests-left was still around 7500.

Am I missing something about how this limit is calculated? Is there a more reliable way to anticipate daily request usage?

Thanks in advance!

Tristan
